Jesse Behm, 26, was fatally shot in Antigo, Langlade County, on July 8, 2000. Behm had been staying at the home of Roxanne Schafer, the woman he was dating, when William Statezny—an ex-suitor who lived across the street and wanted to rekindle a brief relationship with Schafer—entered the house in the middle of the night and woke them. Schafer fled to the bathroom; moments later, shots rang out that killed Behm.

After the shooting, Statezny abducted Schafer and drove around for several hours, telling her he was contemplating suicide, then ultimately released her. A manhunt followed and days later authorities found Statezny in the woods; he had taken his own life. Because the sole suspect died shortly after the offense, no arrest was made in Behm’s killing.

Does anyone have memories of the Antigo area in July 2000 or information about Behm, Schafer, or Statezny that could add context to what happened?
